Great Safety Takes Superior Leadership

Thompson University, Safety & Leadership Training

Safety Training & Leadership Development begin on day one. In addition to job-specific education, all new hires attend Safety training which sets the expectations to work safe for our Thompson Teammates and our families. Additionally, all Thompson supervisors go through our foundational leadership course which includes 2 days of in-depth HR, Quality, and behavioral safety training. Foundational leader training also includes an OSHA 30 hour certification. Thompson is also invested in growing our next generation of leaders. Our Mentorship Program matches our young professionals with senior mentors who provide coaching & accountability for setting and achieving personal and professional goals.

Our commitment to safety is a vital part of our vision.

Safety Analytics

At Thompson we use leading indicators and advanced analytics to proactively manage risk, reduce incidents and make better business decisions. Field employees utilize our mobile safety data collection platform to “find, fix, and report” on safe at at-risk practices. Data is collected, trended, and reported in real time via our Project safety Dashboard.

Best Practice Sharing & Safety Alerts

We pride ourselves on being a learning organization. We are not afraid of assessing our performance after the fact – good or bad. Every event is an opportunity to learn and an opportunity to share and educate our teammates. Lessons are corrected and shared via Root Cause and Best Practice Alerts.

Safety isn’t just something we talk about. We live and breathe it everyday. It’s our total commitment.
